When the Enterprise finds itself stuck in the pull of a quadruple singularity, the have one shot to save themselves.  Unfortunately, the material they need has gotten lost in the Holodeck and only Dixon Hill can find it.  With a small team, Captain Picard, as Dixon Hill, works the case, trying to find his missing prize in time to save the people of the city by the bay, not to mention his ship.

With the final season of Star Trek: Picard on my mind, and Dean Wesley Smith’s A Hard Rain on sale in the Kindle store for $0.99, I thought it would be a good time to revisit the 24th century for the first time in nearly two years.  Unfortunately, there was nothing waiting for me but disappointment.  Smith spends his entire time in the Holodeck, with only log entries from Picard to provide updates on what’s actually happening on the Enterprise.  I see what he was going for, but it didn’t work for me.  I may need to take another long break, at least until I find another deal.
